Has THEIR COURAGE DEPARrEDlu

1t is becoming the one interesting ques-
ton of the hour whether the people of
San Francisco have sufficient of the vigor
of "spunk" to enter even the commonest
protest against the acts of the street rail-
way strikers; the time has passed when
any physical action in resistance is to be
looked for. A complete reign of terror
has been successfully established by the
lawless and turbulent element. The
strikers announce that in a few days they
will enter upon an entirely new and differ

strikers in the use of dynamite and giant

novelty of no recognizable force opposed

EASTERN CRITICISM.
A New York Journals View of the Sena-
torial Question.

torial Question.
New YORK, January I0th.-The Times in
in an editorial headed 1.-The California
Scandal" says: The scandalous methods
adopted in California to secure the seat in
the United States Senate now occupied by
Senator Williams, calls attention anew to
the weakness of the plan for electing Sena-
tors provided by the Constitution, and to
the necessity of some such scheme as that
recently adopted in Nebraska for giving
the people of the State some power in the
choice of Senators who are to represent
them as communities. The use of money
to influence Legislatures is so common, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast. that it is well
understood nobody but a millionaire can
aspire to represent California or Nevada in
the Senate with any reasonable hope of
success. Mr.. Hearst who is the leading
candidate for the California seat, is openly
accused not only of furnishing money to
buy votes at the election of legislators,
but of standing ready to purchase
doubtful Legislators enough to give
him a majority vote in joint session this
week. The price which this gentleman
will be called upon to pay for seat in the
at 100000. Cheap for the Pacific coast.
when Scholarships ranged much higher in
the market. That such scheme of open
and wholesale bribery can be reported in
the newspapers and commented upon with
out calling forth indignant protests all over
the land. is humiliating evidence that the
standard of public morality is not what it
once was. If United States Senators were
elected by the people, or under instructions
from the people by their legislators, an
aspirant for seat would hardly attempt to
secure it by purchase. The contest now
going on in California, and which promises
to end in the purchase of seat in the Sem
ate, will set the people thinking seriously
whether the Nebraska idea of instructing
legislators how to vote for Senator, does
not offer remedy for one of the greatest
scandals incident to our popular system Of
government

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, intro
duced into the Senate last Monday the
following bin in regard to irrigation,
which is of vital Importance to the
people of the Pacific Coast, and more
specially to the people of Arizona:
Be it enacted, ETC., that the public
lands where irrigation is necessary or
desirable, lands be divided by lines
Drawn between the lands which are
50 situated that irrigation is practic-
tble and the lands for which water
cannot be obtained for the purpose of
irrigation.
Sec. 2-All places which can be
used for reservoirs to store water for
The purposes of irrigation should be
surveyed and reserved for that pur-
pose.
Sec. 3-The right of way for bitches
and canals for the purposes OF lrrlg
ltion on the public lands is hereby re
served, and all sales of public lands
hereafter r;ade shall be subject to this
reservation, provided, however, that if
damage is caused by the destruction of
improvements made upon lands in
obtaining right of way for such bitches
and canals, compensation shall be
uade for the actual damage to the
Improvements, and no more.
Sec. 4-No.title shall pass by any
deed or patent from the United States
which shallj'prevent the construction
of irrigating bitches and canals upon
payment of the actual damages to the
improvements, to be assessed in the
same manner by the local courts as
damage are assessed where private
property is taken for public use.
Sec. 5-The surveyors provided for
IN this act shall precede all other sur
veys in each locality where water can
he obtained from any lake, river,
stream or spring for irrigation, and no
land shall be surveyed or sold where
irrigation is desirable until the water
supply is first ascertsined, the reservoir
is selected and reserved and the land
capable of irrigation segregated and
set apart from the land where irrig-
alton is imr possible.
Sec. 6-The Commission of the Gen.
ersl Land Office shall make rules and
regulations to carry this act into effect.
Should the above bill become law,
it will result in Arizona becoming one
of the riches and most populous states
Of the Union. The proposed law is a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington Dec. 19, 1887.

Washington Dec. 19, 1887.
Two weeks ago the Fiftieth Congress
met. At its close the great popular
body of the National Legislature will
have existed one hundred years. IL
many respects the new convocation
will differ from any Congress thai has
assembled since the beginning of the
Great War especially in the number
of new members. Of the three hun
dred and twenty five who sat IN tn
Forty ninth Congress one hundred and
thirty were retired
The session. opened with but one i'm
|portant question demanding the atten
ton of Congress: The reduction of the
revenues of the Government. To the
settlement of this problem all other
questions must be subordinated, anG
yet there is much important Legislation
that may well be undertaken. The
approach of another Presidential con
test promises to make party lines
somewhat more prominent than they
were in the last Congress. But it mus
be admitted that even on the question.
Of revenue reduction neither party il
the lower branch is unit, and what
ever settlement may be reached is not
likely to count for much as party
victory.
A change has come over Washington
in the past week. Day and night many
people are upon the street, and among
them large number of strangers. In
the evening the hotel Hobbies are
crowded Every day the Senators and
Representatives and their attaches
followers and proteges and hangers on
have been arriving in great numbers,
until now the city is full almost to its
winter measure. The Hobbies at Will
ards, the Riggs, the Arlington, the
Ebbitt, the National, and the Metro
politan are packed with Congressman
and people who want something OF

are credited with less experience, are
attended by larger number of people,
who want place thar the old mem
bers, whose experience has trade them
sadder and wiser. Still there are very
few who have not some proteges il.
charge, whether they like it or not.
The place-hunters are dsvoting them
selves to the members, and the latter
are shifting about to find other shout
ders on which to rest them.
